Catalyst Composition and Content Effects on the Synthesis of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes by Arc Discharge

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were prepared by a modified arc discharging furnace using Fe-Ni-Mg powders as catalyst at 600∘C. The effects of catalyst composition and content on the production rate and purity of SWCNTs are investigated in this paper. When the Fe-Ni-Mg catalyst composition...
